'When we were in the park the other day, me and the kids - that wasn't contrived.

'We just want to be a normal couple.'

Alex
also attempted to give some insight into his personality and lifestyle,
reassuringly saying he was classed as 'a lethal weapon because of my
fighting ability so legally I can't get into trouble outside the ring'.

'I thrive on pressure. That's how diamonds are made - under pressure. I see myself like a diamond!'

While Alex is open about his feelings for the mother-of-three, it appears Katie is more reluctant.

Writing in her OK! column, she said: 'It was also reported that me and Alex aren't getting on but we are fine.'

Last week, she insisted things were serious, but refrained from using the L word.

She said: ''I'm really happy with Alex. He's absolutely gorgeous. It's serious.
Pete's the one who broke up with me and it's good I'm moving on.'

The pair spoke after a busy weekend moving from Brighton to London to Spain and back again.

The couple enjoyed a boozy night out in Brighton on Friday night, which ended with a stop-off at a fish 'n' chip shop.
